Yes, it would be nice to escape from the cage and fly away like a bird, run away from this cursed virus that suddenly fell upon us, so overnight, making us fall into a scenario worthy of the worst catastrophic-apocalyptic film...
Instead it is reality, pure and harsh reality, what we have been experiencing for an internal month, today four weeks have started in my area all those measures restricting personal freedom, necessary to try to contain the contagiousness of this virus ...
I live in Italy, in Rimini, Emilia-Romagna, one of the most affected areas, right from the start we were included in the most dangerous area, together with Lombardy and several provinces of the Veneto region, this happened on Sunday 8 March, after a couple of days i measures have extended to the rest of Italy, and have been increasingly restrictive.
We are 3 living in an apartment of just over 60 square meters, me my partner and her son, she lost her job due to health problems in October last year, I am stopped due to the fact that I sell products at public establishments, such as bars and restaurants, no consumption and impossibility to do my job, his son works in a restaurant, therefore a speech similar to mine.
We are in crisis, in serious crisis, if my elderly parents were not there to help us, the situation would be on the verge of the tragic, we made a request for state aid for the month of March, we turned to the trade associations to hurry the necessary paperwork, but the times will not be very fast, probably between the middle and the end of April we will receive the money for the month of March, 600 euros per head, minus the skills of the offices to which we turned, apart from the fact of further delays, which can always happen.
All in all, in the serious disaster and bad luck that has hit the world we are lucky enough, apart from the economic discourse, because we can count on the possibility of going for a walk in a plot of land that is behind our apartment ...
Here it is, it is a very flat field, the green one beside the one already plowed, it is fifty meters wide and about two hundred long, which we walk walking back and forth sometimes, almost every day, to take a breath of fresh water. air and try to reduce the strong state of anxiety in which you risk falling.
This land is logically private and accessible only from the four houses with which it borders on two of its sides, otherwise there could be problems with the police bodies, as access to parks has been banned for several days.
The psychological pressure that the coronavirus is doing is very strong, I am losing the sense of time, because in the morning I almost always spend it in bed, after I woke up around 8 a.m. to go to the bathroom, then, since our 2 house cats are immediately awake, I feed them, they live constantly inside the house, therefore they are totally dependent on us in terms of their feeding.
Best wishes from them, I love cats, who knows me, both live and here on this platform is aware of this fact, taking care of them makes me immensely happy, as well as giving me beautiful moments...
After feeding the cats back to bed, the first days I went back to sleep almost immediately, in the last week I started thinking about what's going on, developing concepts, reviewing sentences, with the final result that I spend time looking for a solution, or maybe just a consolation, which unfortunately I can't find...
Between 10 and 11 a.m. I get up, unfortunately the days are completely bust, I have a light breakfast, so during the day I recover with interests, at home the only * non-cook * is me, the other two components are really good in the kitchen, fresh pasta housewife, desserts, pizza, they know how to do practically everything, also trying to pay attention to the costs of food shopping, there is always little money, until April 15 we can cover the living expenses of the house, for the end of the month there are other bills, other charges to be incurred, the money of the state should arrive, because of going back to work I'm afraid that we won't talk about i...
It will be a real problem, that of the resumption of work, because I have no idea what will await me, the consequences of the coronavirus will not disappear in a flash, the sector in which I operate, that of the administration of food and drinks, will be subjected to a whole series of restrictive rules, which will aim to minimize the possibility of future contagions, such as distances between customers of 2 meters, mask always worn, I think they are all legitimate measures but which will produce strong reductions in consumption and revenues in the premises that they are my customers, so my future, at least in the immediate future, is very uncertain and precarious...
This is a homemade cherry tart, very good indeed, we give a good part to our neighbors, one of the positive aspects of this pandemic is the rediscovery of a certain form of solidarity and mutual exchange, I give a what to you and you give something to me, freely, without constraints, according to what one feels to give and offer to the other, I hope that these feelings, once all this is finished, does not disappear like snow in the sun , and be the beginning of a new world with less selfishness...
This is one of the pastimes that helps to make my afternoons less heavy, it is the longest and hardest time of the day to spend, with the advent of summer time the evening arrives after 7 pm, although Splinterlands is a beautiful game and that I love, after a few dozen games I have to disconnect, I can make these series of battles also because I include the attendance of these sites among the various fights...
This is one of the faucet sites where I get some bitcoin satoshi, I think the great majority of you already know it, in this period I can get about 3000 satoshi per day, even if I don't hide from you that sometimes I get a sense of nausea due to the repetitiveness and the alienation that these operations generate, but I try to get strength and I think that if bitcoin were to make a nice pump, as many people say, I could have some little extra satisfactions...
One of the plants that surround our courtyard, lemons, beautiful, sunny, ripe, inspire me a feeling of rebirth and continuation of life, fundamental in a certain period where the general mental state is put to the test, I try to throw problems at shoulders, thinking positive and believing in a future that must necessarily be better than this present, made up mainly of numbers, which crush and oppress us, such as new infections, hospitalized in intensive care, dead, the hallucinating thing is that we are in this situation for a month, but our past life, * made of work, hobbies, joys, sorrows, travels and everything we want to put in *, always light years away and difficult to propose...
I just hope that everything that has an end, sooner or later, would be better sooner, but the dangers of a relapse are very high, so I have the impression that it is better to be a little more cautious in facing the recovery rather than bold, our freedom has too high a value not to try to regain it, once everything is a bad memory, I hope, I hope, I wish you...
